An engaging slide show for 2nd graders introduces them to the life cycle of plants. Students match up plant vocabulary words to their correct definition. Pairs of students play a vocabulary game, then students must draw and label leaves,...

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

Second graders view milkweed plants (or pictures). The describe the plant and discuss ways some butterflies use it as a food source. Students view four pictures of different phases of a milkweed plant's life cycle. They discuss the...

Students observe biology by completing a plant experiment in class. In this botany lesson, students discuss the anatomy related to a plant and how roots and stems are necessary to its survival. Students utilize food coloring and examine...

First graders classify vegetables by which parts are edible.  In this plant biology lesson, 1st graders are read Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens, participate in a discussion of which plant parts are edible in the story, then sort...

Using a variety of multi-media resources, your high schoolers become familiar with the parts of plant and create a story about plants using vocabulary learned during their research of plants. Completed stories are published using the...

Students study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions.  In this botany lesson students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.

Discover why plants are important to our world. View plant parts and categorize them as stems or buds. Students do a cut and paste of pictures of plants into correct categories.  Students also plant a carrot top,and record...
